- SCOR or Software & Courseware On-line Reviews is a database of
- information about software and courseware and reviews of the same. It
- incorporates the Schools Computing On-line Resources database which is
- a database of information about all aspects of the use of computers in
- schools. The database includes information about all types of software
- including application, educational and system software, curriculum
- materials and professional development for teachers. The database of
- educational software is built on the catalogue of software held at the
- WA Non-Government Schools Computing Centre and currently includes
- mainly software for the Apple II, BBC and Microbee microcomputers.
- Information about software for other microcomputers is in the process
- of being added.
-
- A number of pages have been included as examples of information about
- hardware, professional development and curriculum materials in the
- field of schools computing.
-
- The database was initially developed by the Western Australian
- Educational Computing Consortium at the Curtin University of Technology
- (formerly the Western Australian Institute of Technology) as part of a
- project funded by the Commonwealth Curriculum Development Centre to
- examine the feasibility of establishing a national software
- clearinghouse. The database has been considerably expanded and updated
- since then.
-
